This Policy Briefing Note is a quick summary of the SACOSS submission to the state government Discussion Paper proposing amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act - the major state legislation governing private rentals. SACOSS welcomes some proposals, but calls for a focus on rental affordability, including measures to make energy and water cheaper for renters, and a cap on rent increases.

SACOSS have welcomed the opportunity to engage with the review of the Residential Tenancies Act 1995. South Australians are currently experiencing a rental affordability crisis. Disappointingly, the review Discussion Paper fails to adequately address this crisis, but our submission is largely focused on affordability issues.
